EXECUTE_TRIGGER built-in

Description

EXECUTE_TRIGGER executes an indicated trigger.

Syntax

PROCEDURE EXECUTE_TRIGGER
(trigger_name VARCHAR2);
Built-in Type restricted procedure (if the user-defined trigger calls any restricted built-in subprograms)
Enter Query Mode yes
Note: EXECUTE_TRIGGER is not the preferred method for executing a user-named trigger: writing a user-named subprogram is the preferred method.

Parameters

trigger_name Specifies the name of a valid user-named trigger.

Usage Notes

Because you cannot specify scope for this built-in, Form Builder always looks for the trigger starting at the lowest level, then working up.
To execute a built-in associated with a key, use the DO_KEY built-in instead of EXECUTE_TRIGGER. For example, rather than:

Execute_Trigger ('KEY-NEXT-ITEM');

Use instead:

Do_Key('NEXT_ITEM');
